USA trip to the Caribbean, Venezuela, Haiti, Panama, Mexico..

Bad idea in evey way! Very dangerous to even drive a ski that far of the coast. Not to mention you better be armed with a long gun as well as a handgun and loads of extra mags.

seriously? you should see the exodus from FL over to the Bahamas on a holiday weekend. a guy recently made the crossing to and from solo to raise money for charity. he was outfitted more than the average jet ski crosser since he was solo, but plenty of people do it in small groups fairly often. miami to bimini is only 45 or so miles, which is less than some people travel to get across inland lakes. as with anything, preparation is key.

ya, right, a spark 30 miles offshore, great idea....NOT.....

Pair's of RXTX, FXHO, or maybe (best) F15X's but please... a Spark ?

Have you ever been offshore on a ski ? Really offshore ? Like 30 miles ?

You need to take a step back into reality son.

Didn't Kevin do it on a Spark recently( few months back)?

I think this trip sounds amazing! You really should look into some sponsors to do this right. Really, I'd think Yamaha or SeaDoo might even give you the ski to equip and use. I really don't see the issue people are complaining about here. If you have at least 2 locators, a radio, and lots of gas with a new ski possibly provided for you by manufacturer. Can you imagine being able to say THEIR ski made that trip? I think that'd bring some bragging rights. They could market the crap out of it too leading up to the big day.

It would be dangerous... yes. But, it would be a once in a lifetime event and would be EPIC.

PS, contact manufacturers and they could tell you what kind of extended salt runs you could get away with.
